Yet another Broadhurst seating question

[djca]

Posted: 8/10/07 at 11:51am

I know this kind of question is asked her often. But, here goes, which of the following seats would be best in the Broadhurst theater for Les Miz?

Telecharge gives out these "best" seats in this order:
1) Left Orchestra Row K 13-17
2) Right Orchestra Row E 10-14
3) Left Orchestra Row L 7-11
4) Right Orchestra Row M 2-6 (2 is on Aisle)
and some other orchestra tickets that go farther back (rows R left and right, row T center)
and for Mezzanine
5) Mezzanine Center Row C 112-114 (114 is on Aisle)

Is Row E Right Orchestra too near on the right for a good view?
Thanks!

Orch Right, Row E seats: 10 & 14 are too far over and too close.

Your best bet are:

Orch Left, Row K, seats: 13-17
Orch Right, Row M, seats: 2-6
or Mezz Center, Row C seats: 112-114 (they're Center Right) -- are you looking for 3 or 2 tickets? These Mezz Center Row C's are only 2 tickets.

Hmmm... yes I'm looking for 3 tickets. I think 112-114 are for 3 tickets (at least that's what Telecharge tells me), as the seating map shows that for center seats, seat numbering covers all numbers on the range.

Thanks for the advice!

Edit -- YES, YES. Mezz C112-114 are three center mezzanine seats C112, C113, and C114. 114 is the right aisle of the center mezzanine.

Row M is barely under the mezzanine overhang. I would take those because they are more centered than the other nearby orchestra choices [rows L and K].


p.s. By the way, there are still discount codes available.
You may try LMEX426 (good until Sept. 6th?).

Thanks!

Yeah, LMEX426, AXP2007 (for Amex cards), LM23TMC are still working.

I actually have tickets for 8/22 evening C110-C112 using the AMEX code but learned recently that Lea Salonga is going on vacation starting the 19th. So now I'm looking for tickets next week --- of course Lea's appearance won't be definite --- but at least there's a chance. For the 8/22 tickets, she would definitely NOT be there. So I will have to find a way to get rid of the 8/22 tickets if I am able to get tickets for next week.

It turns out I didn't have to hawk my 3 tickets on ebay or craiglist. The lady I talked to at Telecharge happily accepted my request for an exchange.

I have a quick question regarding seats also: Is Mezz. Row L (last row) that bad? How is the view, how well can you hear everything?

thanks

how are the orchestra "partial View" seats, also?

Posted: 11/3/07 at 8:40pm

There shouldn't be an issue hearing it, but seeing could be problematic possibly...I haven't sat in too many mezzanenes, but I did for Les Mis (in the first row, however) and it seems like its a lot steeper than the other ones. But it beats paying $66.50 or whatever to sit in the row before that or closer even $110 if you bought the cheap tickets which are like $32 i think. It shouldn't be too bad.

thanks philly03... what do you think would be better "partial view Orchestra" or the last row mezz?

The mezz seats at the Broadhurst were made for elves. If you are under 5'5" or have no legs you should be fine up there.

Posted: 11/3/07 at 8:54pm

hmm...considering I'm 6' 4' that could be an issue... how bad are the partial view seats?

[philly03]

Posted: 11/3/07 at 8:58pm

I sat in a partial view seat in Row L which was on the right-orchestra and was i believe 3 seats from the end and it was fine to me. I've also sat upclose in Row D right orchestra and I'm not sure if that was partial view or not, but it was actually kind of cool to watch the people run in and out of the sides of the wings and come near you, and the seats were good.

Sitting too close really isnt that bad for Les Mis, I mean i wouldn't go for row A but contrasting what someone said about Row C or D (i forget what they said) it's not actually too bad. What are you seating options? Which row/section?

[zooxanthellae]

When I searched for partial view these came up:
Left Orchestra Row D, Seats 15-17

they seem pretty good, is anything really in the way there?

Have you seen Les Miserables at all in your life?

Becuase the only thing I would think you wouldn't see is any thing majorly to the left, and very far back to the left, which is just about nothing, and perhaps during "Lovely Ladies" you may get cut off from the people who stand on stage just like "talking" to each other (the actors). I couldn't imagine anything too castrophic in your way. Maybe not seeing Eponine's face during her death? (SORRY if that ruined it Haha).

no, I have seen it before so that's not too big a deal... so would you say those seats are better than last row mezz?

[philly03]

Posted: 11/3/07 at 11:37pm

I would sya go for the orchestra, although I'm more of an orchestra person. And on the left is where they all run through on the sides primarily! And if you want PM me and I'll send you the discount site if you don't know it for Les Miserables!

I have a question about seating at the Broadhurst so figured I'd just bump this thread. All the responses to this are for Les Mis though, anyone know how row BB either left or right orchestra would be for Cat? Is the stage pretty high at this theater? I'm also getting offered row A of the Mezz, would those be better? Updated On: 3/31/08 at 05:29 PM

It will be slightly obstructed on the right side, but the left should be fine.
